Rutgers study opens door to broader use of sunlight and advanced materials to combat climate change
Star-shaped gold nanoparticles, coated with a semiconductor, can produce hydrogen from water over four times more efficiently than other methods – opening the door to improved storage of solar energy and other advances that could boost renewable energy use and combat climate change, according to Rutgers University–New Brunswick researchers.

Congratulations to Wesley Kendall for being awarded the prestigious NSF Fellowship for his proposal, "Photonic Nanostructures and Metasurfaces for the Control of Thermal Radiation." Wesley has decided to attend Duke University next year and enter their photonics program. Wesley is only one of two undergraduates of the entire Rutgers undergraduate student body that has received this award. The other award went to Juilee Malavade (BME) also an undergraduate in the School of Engineering.

A group of 17 students and four faculty and staff from the Materials Science and Engineering Department traveled to visit Corning Incorporated in Corning, NY from March 14 - 16. During the three day, 24/7 experience we saw an amazing array of science and engineering laboratories and plants that illustrate how Gorilla glass and display glass are made for our phones and tablets, as well as ceramic catalytic supports and filters for automotive and diesel applications that help keep the air clean in our major cities, plus an array of other emerging technologies. It was all quite an experience

The Materials Research Society (MRS) is a principal technical organization for materials scientist and engineers. The MRS 2017 Fall Meeting was held in Boston, MA during November 26 to December 1. The meeting featured the presentation of many technical papers, both oral and poster, as well as numerous networking forums and a large commercial exposition. The Rutgers Material Advantage section organized a sizable expedition to Boston to attend where the students learned much and had a great time. But soon it was time to go home to begin preparing for the upcoming final exam period.
